Research

APLIC funds research projects that further the knowledge of avian/power line interactions, including causes and solutions to avian mortalities due to power line electrocutions and collisions. Examples of applicable research topics include:

risk assessments to identify factors contributing to electrocution and collision mortality risks for different species

evaluation of impacts of power line construction on bird species

Proposals are accepted throughout the year. However, two deadlines have been established to facilitate the efficient review of the proposals by the membership and provide a timely response to the applicant. Proposals received by February 1 will be reviewed and selections will be made during the Spring APLIC meeting (April/May). Proposals received by July 1 will be reviewed and selections will be made during the Fall APLIC meeting (October/November).
